Earlier, the only home for such a place was on the Canon EOS forum, where I have to say, I was made quite welcome, even by the digital shooters. However, now that there is this forum, I am continuing here.

This camera is a notch above the EOS 620 with faster AF speed. Like the EOS 620, the 630 QD has autobracketing up to ±5 stops (1/2-stop increments), maximum of 9 multiple exposures, 6-zone evaluative metering, and 6.5% partial metering at the center.

In the AI Servo AF mode, the maximum shooting speed is 2.5 fps. In the One-Shot AF mode, the maximum is 5 fps. The body came in black or metallic gray. The price was the same for both colors.

Actually, somewhere or other, I had run across some fairly superlative description of what a great leap forward the EOS 630 was, Intoxicated by this heavy miasma, I got a 630 on eBay for the sort of usual price of these older EOS cameras. These things typically run in the tens of dollars; this particular example in exception condition was US $20.16 plus postage for the body. It had the nice Quartz Date E interchangeable back that worked on many of the early EOS cameras. In this case, the battery for it had died, so the pictures below show no date stamp.

It's not that I was disappointed in this camera, exactly, but from a shooting view point, it is really a rather incremental improvement on the EOS 620. I used with a series of different older and newer EOS EF lenses, and frankly did not see the increase in focus speed claimed, but for my kind of shooting even the EOS 650 was adequate, so this was no problem.
Although I had shot about a half a roll of film (Walgreens [probably Fuji] 200) with in a day or so of getting it, various things interposed themselves so getting through the last of the roll took me until now. Hence, the widely different enviroments in the pictures.

Any of these early Canon EOS film cameras are still serviceable film backup cameras and can now be bought for no more than a pizza dinner. The can be used manually, and so are an alternative to old Pentaxes for learners who want to have the choice of the hard way or the easy way.

I have one of these as well. Got it for next to nothing on Ebay. It is not a bad camera. Very solid build quality, and fairly easy to use. It is very easy to do multiple exposures with, something I enjoy doing from time to time. However, the AF is very much first generation, and quite inaccurate. Since I got the camera, it has puzzled me that you have made an effort to give the user a fast frame rate (you can chew through a roll of film in 7 seconds), coupled with an AF system that does not stand a chance to keep up with it.
With that being said, if you are currently a Canon dslr shooter, and wants to see what film is all about, the 600/630 is not a bad choice, especially given the low price.Multiple exposure, done on Kodak Ektar 100Photo of my EOS 600

Thanks JDM. I've had my eye on one of these on KEH since I don't own a film EOS. I like the lines a lot - strikingly clean in a very late-80s / early 90s industrial sort of way. Only reason I haven't snapped it up yet is because it costs all of $17 - I refuse to pay more for shipping and handling than the camera itself! Will have to throw it into my shopping cart the next time I buy something from KEH.

Thanks also for the ad. Reminds me of when I was in 8th grade in boarding school. We had post-dinner "prep-hours" when you had to go to class to do your homework etc. I'd leave class to go to the library and look through back issues of National Geographic for the camera ads - the earliest version of camera porn. I still remember the EOS 1 and Pentax Super M ads like they were yesterday. 20 years later and I do the same thing - I slip out of meetings at the office saying "I should get these documents ready" and instead spend time looking at camera porn...
